Put a noose around my neck and shoot me in the head. If Ordonez has a lifetime Met WAR of as much as two, I'll buy you a pair of seats behind home plate to any Met game you choose. And you won't have to go with me if you don't want to. This fraud was the worst baseball player I ever had the misfortune of seeing in my lifetime.And the asshole in the front office that threw his weight around to ensure that Rey played every day can still go fuck himself. I know it wasn't Bobby.

I knew Ordonez had a ~4 dWAR in '99 and nearly 3 overall. Didn't know how well the other seasons stood out. Typically just being a SS lowers the bar for what you need to hit to be okay. I suspect it's one of the guys before my time.

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 Good guess.

Vic Sage Old-Timey Member Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 hah!i got it.and i never get it.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 Sorry, I was on assignment today. John Stearns it is. Pretty amazing, when you recall his career trajectory --- peaking at 26 and being injured for part or all of his last five years.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 How the WAR list compares to the CPF Rankings list among NYM position playersWAR list1. David Wright2. Darryl Strawberry3.

Keith HernandezCPF is furthest off on the high side with Cleon (5th vs 13th) and Kranepool (8th vs ??)lowest on Beltran (9th vs 3rd) and Stearns (20th vs 10th)
smg58 Old-Timey Member Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 It's easy to overlook Stearns because he played on some horrible teams. But he had some surprisingly high OBP years in there, and his 1978 season is much better in hindsight than I remember anybody thinking at the time. The 141 games he played behind the plate in 1978 took their toll however.
Vic Sage Old-Timey Member Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I loved the Dude. Though he burned briefly, he was a shining star in a dark time.
